International Volunteering: An Opportunity for Disabled Young People

Recruiting and Supporting Disabled Young People as International Citizen Service Volunteers


 

Location: York St John University, York

Date: Wednesday September 12th 2012

Time: 9.30am- 5.30pm (lunch is provided)

 


Who should attend: Representatives from agencies and charities working with disabled young people, aged 18 - 25, throughout the UK.

 

The aim: To explore the International Citizen Service scheme as an opportunity for all disabled young people. To enable all young people to be proactive participants in global citizenship, making a difference to the world and potentially transform their sense of who they are. To learn from the pilot ICS scheme, hearing from returned disabled young volunteers and their project partners.

 

We will explore;

  • the challenges and practicalities of international volunteering for disabled young people
  • the promotion of ICS and supporting volunteers through the application process
  • the expectations before, during and after placement: how to ensure everyone involved has a happy and fulfilling placement.
  • how to make the International Citizen Service scheme a reality for disabled young people.

 

This workshop is offered without booking fee; however places are limited and must be confirmed.
